@Rexsio, your skill set continues to impress! I found the website of S & I Auto Color from their phone number on the paint can. How did they formulate the Energetic Yellow color?

What else should be yellow on my car ? Any ideas? Brake calipers are paint yellow already

Let's hope Lotus doesn't file a cease-and-desist lawsuit for imitating their color scheme

If I knew I could get the lightning stripes aftermarket when I ordered the car I wouldnt have ordered the factory stripes. Too late now, they are under the clear bra.

I build them myself and paint yellow with caliper paint and rap them with black plastic door protection
